TRY COTTON IN THE WEST.

The late rains, benefceRt as they were,
came too late to be of service to small
grain crops in score or more Of the
counties in what is called the drouth dis
trict. In these counties wheat and oats
died in the ground, beyond all power of
Tevivlfcation, and the season is too far
advanced for 1eplanting. THE GAZETTE
is gratiied to note that in many such
cases there is a tendency to plant cotton
where the dead small grains were sown,
and test the capacity and resources of the
soil and climate for cotton growing.
There is yet ample time to plant cotton if
the people can get seeds, and it should be
matter of pride and pleasure with those
who can contribute cotton seed and place
it in the hands of farmers in western
counties to do so as speedily and gener-
ously as practicable. In many of the
counties alluded to cotton growing has
not heretofore been feature of agricul-
tural industry. The people have preferred
to believe their soil better adapted to
grain than the great southern staple, and
hence the cereals have had the preference
to the exclusion of cotton. Let a fair test
of cotton be made this year, for il is
quite probable the result will show that
cotton can be raised fully as advantage
ousIy as grain. OLD settlers in Texas
can readily recall a time, not so many
years distant, either, when there was
popular impression that the prairie lands
of the state were not very valuable, in an
agricultural ways; the preference ran to
the lands along the rivers and creeks.
Then by degrees it was ascertained that
corn, and cotton and wheat-and indeed
all the cereals, could be grown as favor
ably on the prairies as on bottom lands.
Why may not the same result, measurably
be attained in some Of the western
counties, in regard to cotton? THE GA
zETTE, as is well known, has great faith
in the west as field of operations for the
man with hoe, and 1t will not surprise
THE GAZETTE at all if an intelligent,
thorough test will establish the fact of
the eligibility of great areas in the west
for cotton growing that have heretofore
been deemed suited to cereals alone.

The South,
Marshall Mes. enger.


Never in the history of our sunny south
has such tidal wave of prosperity swept
over it. It is not confined to any peculiar
or restricted lUcality-to any particular
industrial enterprise, nor any special class
of citizens. The prosperity is universal
in every business in every part of our fair
southland. It is general awakening to
the vast resources and the grand posi-
bility that looms up before us. 1t is not
so much new south as the old south re-
newing her youth and coming up with
giant strength to the work of developing
the inexhaustible resources of our
fair land. 1t is the old south emery
ing from the wreck of war cheating
the sword into plow shares and the spears
idto pruning hooks" and grasping the
Implements of agriculture, industry and
the arts and winning grander victories
than ever graced the soldier on the field
of blood.
It is the old south born again amid the
thrO of an almost hopeless poverty into
a life regenerated. purified and strenth-
ened amid fiery trials, with an inVigor-
ated manhood, Determined to WIN great
er victories in peace than in war. 1t is
not northern blood but southern fire
aroused to the grand work of winning
and maintaining an honored supremacy
in the vast empire of industrial pursuits.
And this the south will accomplish in
the near future.

THE effort on the part of certain news
parsrs, which have become suddenly
Jealous in behalf of the Democratic or
ganization and soIicitous for its welfare,
20 drag the democratic Governor" and
other prominent Democrats with the
party as such into the prohibition fight,
does not meet with favor. Prohibition
and anti-pTohibition papers alike oppose
the ill-advised effort. Democrats who
love their party and appreciate the value
of its organization above ali prohibition
or anti-prohibition, see that its enemies
are divided on the question: that Jerome
Kearby of Dallas is for and Arch Cochran
of Dallas is against the amendm mt; that
J. M. Brown of Fort Worth is for and J
P. Alexander o. Fort Worth is against it;
and that so it is all over Texas. From
two of the very ablest anti-prohibition
papers in the state THE GAZETTE takes
the following:
Prohibition may be undemocratIu, but the
party has not in this state at least so declared,
anu the DdIid5 convention Will De acting WIN
out authority If it I'm ertakes "to set forth
clearly and unequivocalY the time-honored
and cardinal principles of the Democratic
party" This may be distasteful to some OF our
Democratic brethren, but from it there can be
no escape. The Democratic party,- as such,
cannot be dragged into the contest. The fight
must be made outside of party lines. The prin-
ciple of prohibition must be advocated or OPP
pOseo without reference to the Democratic
party. The party, in its organized capacity,
has so declared, and good Democrats will &C
quiesce in that decision until it is revoked by
the same ADMINISTRATION Journal
The zeal displayed by the Galveston News to
drag the Democratic party into the prohibition
fight is worthy of a better cause. There is no
danger to the Democratic party in non parti-
san canvass of prohibition. There would be
danger to tae party were it to espOuse either
side. Mills almost disrupted the party in his
district when he forced local option as party
question. The late Democratic convention
was wise when it took the question out of the
party creeI.

PERFECTED LEGISLATION
Some Bills Passe by the Twentieth
Legislature Of the State at the
Regular Session, 1887.
OFFICIAL COMPILATION.
TAXATION.

Section |. Be it enacted by the Legis-
Ilature Of the state of Texas: That chap
Ter 2, title SO, of the Revised Civil Stat
ptes, be amended by adding thereto arti-
Gle 1850, which shall read as follows:
Article 4676a All persons, companies
and corporations owning pastures in the
state, which lie on county boundaries,
shall be required to list for assessment
live stock of every kind owned by them
In said pastures in the several counties in
which such pastures are situated, listing
10 each county such portion of said stock
as the land in county is of the whole
pasture. All persons, companies, and
corporations owning shy kind of live
stock not their own, shall list such live
stock in the several counties in which
such pastures are situated in the same
manner, and in both cases the tax as
isessed upon such live stock shall be paid
ito the tax collectors of the several coun-
ties in which sucn live stock Is listed and
assessed.
Sec. 2. The near approach of the close
OF the session of the Legislature creates
an imperative public necessity that the
rule requiring bills TO be read on three
several days should be suspended, and an
emergency exists that this act take effect
and be in force from and after It's passage,
and ii is so enacted. Approved, April ,,

AWAY up in New England, even, where
the snow is and the cold east winds ex-
pei all warmth from mans nature, they
call John Sherman (of Ohio) cold Here
is what a Massachusetts paper says
"Honest John Sherman thinks Mr.. Blaine
will not be q candidate for President in
1888 unless he can get the nomination on
the first ballot. Mr.. Sherman himself
will not get the nomination on either the
first or the second ballot. With all due
respect to Mr.. Sherman's fine qualities
it must be admitted that he is not the
man to enthuse over, and he is not
the man whom the plain, common people
who will have more to say about the
next election and the next nomination
than ever before-want. If Mr. Blaine
does not wish to be d candidate-and he
will not be if he Las the opposition he
had before-t' . nomination will probably
go to Allison of Iowa"

IN THE terrible mine disaster in Savan-
ma, 1. T., where so many lost their lives,
five of the number were Knights of
Pythias, who formed a rescuing party
and willingly faced death to save, if pos
sible, thirteen Of the brother knights from
a terrible death. All fell victims to the
noxious gases end the eighteen shared a
common fate. The lesson of fraternity
is not lost, but remains an exponent of
that love which is ever an evidence OF
true knighthood. The facts of this &C.
currence have been sent to Mr.. Howard
Douglass at Cincinnati, supreme chancel-
lor of the order of Knights of Pythias,
and no brighter record will be found
than the page wherein are written the
names of the noble five who persisted in
the attempt to save their brethren. And
this is the character of secret societies
that bigots and fanatics would drive from
existence.

"Only One Panhandle "
Mobeetie Panhandle.


1t raineth in the Panhandle, and the
Panhandle reigneth supreme over all the
countries that lie outdoors in those CON
ditions that go toward making up the
material prosperity and well-being of the
race. Contemplating the five days rain
that has moistened US up lot during the
week, we are reminded of the poets
apostrophe to the ocean, beginning "Pro-
digious dampness." That's what W ere
having, with a cloudy prospect
of a continuance. It is well.
1t is bully-and corny and oatsy, and all
those things. The long continued drouth
that has caused calamity and disaster to
many citizens over considerable area of
the Pan has by no means seriously affect
ed the Panhandle. The ground was in
such condition as to sprout and bring up
the early planted crops, and the rain came
in ample time for the planting OF corn
and forage. In all our broad land there
is only one Panhandle.

the routine Of the sick room is not irk-
some when it is recognized as lawful and
intelligent. The pilot has the helm.
While all except the wilfully blind
acknowledge the trained nurse as
benefaction to our race and age, the
candid concede the system to which we
owe her has abuses that are not trifiing.
She is disposed to magnify her Office
overmuch, and errOgate to herself
Individual importance in consequence
thereof, sometimes to the extent
of putting her personality in front,
instead of keeping behind it. Commits
stoned to hold the reins, she is prone to
grasp the whip also, demands broad road
and perpetual right OF way. Each member
of the family is outrider or lackey. Limi-
tstions as to number and length of visits to
her realm, articles of diet bought into the
sacred precincts, topics of falkland the
like are issued in the tone of dictator
"Shall" and "must" are her favorite
lenses. Her thralls may hate but they
dare not dispossess her. The bed of
langulshing is her bastion, the pillow of
pain her citadel
She has prOclivity, too, for decayed
gentleWomanhood. She was Well-born,
father had not "gone security" or her
father married a second time, or her
brother died early, or her husband fallen
into evil company, she would not now be
"nursing for living" Lest you might
feel yourself to be her superior in blood
and social position, she puts you down
conscientiously at intervals, by CriticisiBg
your family and visitors and telling you
Chow much the people at her last place
made of her," but then they knew all
about my an ecedents.
OF all the dust that blinds and chokes
US on the turnpike of life, deliver us from
decayed and pulverized gentility Our
trained nurse is good enough in herself,
so useful always, sometimes such bless
ing that she has no need to stoop to the
level Of her grandfather's bones.
We welcome her. We would not do
without her If we could. Having known
her, we could not if we would But let
her be the embodiment of her holy mis-
sion whenever she can-forgetful of petty
Sights and more petty pretensions IN her
desire to walk worthy OF that whereunto
she is called.
